Tianhao walked over and moved a large stone over to Fang Zhao's side and sat down, his gaze sizing up Fang Zhao and the three bodyguards . Clicking his tongue, he thought to himself, This bastard is rather pretentious, having a major and two captains as his bodyguards . So many people would be jealous if they knew .
Not bothering at all about the looks from the three bodyguards, Tianhao sat cross-legged and plucked a strand of straw before placing it in his mouth . Without enunciating his words clearly, he said to Fang Zhao, "We are all participants of the first segment of Project Starlight and are more or less colleagues already . We shouldn't be that unfamiliar with each other . How about heading back to the base for a drink?"
"I'm still undergoing military service," Fang Zhao replied . There were many restrictions during military service duration, and in principle, conscripts were not permitted to consume alcohol . Of course, alcohol provided by senior officers for a celebratory banquet did not count .
"Oh, right, you are still a conscript . " Tianhao felt that it was a pity . He had wanted to tell Fang Zhao that it was all right to secretly drink on planet Wai, but realizing the three bodyguards were staring at him, he stopped himself and thought, How are these bodyguards, they are simply monitors .
While under scrutiny, Tianhao would also not advise Fang Zhao to partake in any questionable activities . Changing the topic, he asked, "I heard that you are really good with history . Do you know about historical figures? Some people say that I resemble great general Woo Tong of the Founding Era; what do you say?"
Fang Zhao gave a simple reply . "There is some resemblance . "
Tianhao, or Woo Tianhao, was a descendant of Tongzhou's Woo family . However, when he appeared in the the entertainment circles, Woo Tianhao generally did not display his family name .
Although he did not know whether or not Fang Zhao was flattering him, Tianhao seemed rather happy when he heard this, and his smile grew wider . "I think so too . " He loved it when people said that he had a great general's style or that he looked like Woo Tong .
"Have people from Wai base asked you about investing yet?" Woo Tianhao asked .
"They did . "
"What are you thoughts on this matter? Actually, it is really good to invest here, and you aren't short of money . " Woo Tianhao had made inquiries about the value of Fang Zhao's works and income from other endorsement deals . Making some calculations, he understood that Fang Zhao, this little celebrity, would not lose to him when it came to cash in hand! He also had another motive for finding Fang Zhao so urgently .
"It's worth a try," Fang Zhao replied .
"I think so too, and I have already started looking at places . " Woo Tianhao raised his eyebrows and noticed Fang Zhao gazing at the experimental plots to the side . Turning to Fang Zhao, he said, "Brother, let's play a game . Do you know what I wish to build on planet Wai? If you guess correctly, you get a prize . You have three chances . If you get it on the first try, one million dollars . If you take two tries, 500,000 . If you take three tries, 100,000 . How about it? You have nothing to lose . "
As he watched Fang Zhao look over, Woo Tianhao was secretly pleased, and he thought to himself, The bait has been set, but even if you rack your brains, there is no way you can guess it!
"Build a dojo into a mountainside?" Fang Zhao replied .
Woo Tianhao: " . . . "
Woo Tianhao nearly swallowed his straw and started coughing before spitting it out . Surprise and plain disbelief was written all over his face . "How did you know? Don't tell me your ear can 'hear' it?"
There was a faint smile on Fang Zhao's face . "Guessed it . " Just like Su Mu had said many times about returning to tending sheep after the war, Fang Zhao also remembered that Woo Tong had talked about building a dojo into a mountain after the war many times as well . Woo Tianhao, this little fellow, actually had the same dream as Woo Tong .
Fang Zhao had actually had no idea what Woo Tianhao wanted to construct on planet Wai . However, since Woo Tianhao had said he was like Woo Tong, Fang Zhao had then remembered Woo Tong's words and thus made his guess, which had turned out to be correct . The result was really unexpected, but he wouldn't reveal the reason for his guess to Woo Tianhao .
Realizing that he wouldn't be able to get the reason, Woo Tianhao no longer pressed Fang Zhao for it . His motive in looking for Fang Zhao had not been this . One million was just 1 million . When compared to what he wanted to discuss with Fang Zhao, 1 million was not a big deal .
"Pass me your bank account number . I will transfer the funds to you when I get access to the internet," Woo Tianhao said .
The three bodyguards behind Fang Zhao shot each other weird glances . In their hearts, they were thinking . Really building a dojo? What the h*ll goes on in his mind? Still building a dojo in this sort of era? Not saying that people of the New Era would have no interest, but even if they had interest in this, there are all sorts of virtual classes online and all sorts of tutors for one-on-one lessons . With it being so convenient, even gyms gradually faded into obscurity over time . Things from the old era like dojos only exist in history textbooks . Is there a need to construct one?
Too much money and too few things to spend on? Or have the people of Wai base brainwashed him and made him retarded?
On the contrary, Fang Zhao did not find it strange at all .
In the Old Era, the Woo clan had been a family of martial artists and had produced a number of martial arts action stars . It was reasonable to say that the Woo clan of old had not lacked methods of earning money, and Woo Tong had become a physical instructor . After the apocalypse had broken out, Woo Tong had rapidly gathered up a bunch of people and taken refuge . After that, it had turned into a resistance, counterattacking and recapturing Tong Zhao . In the end, he had become one of the great generals of the Founding Era, but due to certain reasons, he had been unable to accomplish his dream of building the dojo .
There was actually a commemorative dojo in Tongzhou, but it did not have the traditional significance and was not the sort of dojo Woo Tianhao wanted . In the New Era, other than Woo Tianhao, no one else in the Woo family had any interest toward this . Snatching a spot in the first iteration of Project Starlight and coming to planet Wai was something that Woo Tianhao had meticulously planned for .
